- "The Barzinis are famous for their calm approach to business, but don't cross them. Joe Vesuvius is a happy guy, but look at him wrong and you'll end up under his dockyard warehouse, in the river."
- ―The Godfather: The Game - Official Strategy Guide[src]
The Saint Elia Warehouse was a Barzini owned business that was managed by Joe Vesuvius, a former dock worker who was known for his fair attitude to business and general easy-going nature. The warehouse served as the main supplier of explosives for the Barzini Family. Due to it's location in Brooklyn, the warehouse had connections to the Tattaglia family, who owned Joe's Diner, in front of it, which was where Tom Hagen was held in 1945. In 1945, the warehouse was bought by the Corleone family. This was the first in a series of steps that would spell doom for the Barzini family.
